Valentines day Spa treatments

A few days ago I was contacted by Michelle Pino from the Skana Spa in New York wondering if I would like to share these redipes for two delicious sounding, home made body treatments. "Yes please" I said "so long as they can be made from natural ingredients" and they are! So here are two really delicious, romantic body treatments to get you in the mood this Valentines evening

Chocolate-Berry Inspired
Spa Treatment

Though no
excuse is needed, Valentine’s Day is the perfect one for some pampering.
And the pampering can be easy, relaxing and inexpensive if you bring the
spa experience to your home. It is possible to bring luxurious treatments
home and to have a great night to enjoy on your own, with a loved one or with
good friends and still keep within budget.

Directions: In a medium bowl, combine all the ingredients.
Mix well. Apply the mixture to your face, (should be clean and
make- up free), making sure to cover the entire are. Leave it on for
about 10 minutes. Rinse with warm water. Skin will feel fresh and moisturized.

Directions: Remove the stems from the strawberries and wash
all the berries together in a colander. In a blender, puree the berries
together with the oil, the sugar and the salt. Put the mixture into a small
glass jar and seal with the lid. Tie the jar with a bow and you have an easy,
DIY gift that will make anyone feel special.

Application: Shake the scrub well before applying it to the
body. Use a loofah or a washcloth to apply the scrub to the whole body
and massage the mixture gently into the arms, the torso and the legs.
This scrub works well to purify and exfoliate the entire body and the
high amount of berries in the scrub serve to deliver a powerful punch of
antioxidants to the body. Since the scrub uses all natural ingredients,
it is perishable and should be stored in the refrigerator to extend its shelf
life. Lasts for about a week.

Chocolates and Berries: The Perfect CombinationThis mixture of tastes and
scents is the ideal combination for Valentine’s Day. The all-natural
ingredients combined with an inexpensive price tag make this the perfect treat
for anyone – including your self! Add a bag of some chocolate dipped
strawberries and a bottle of wine, or fresh mineral water and you will have the
ultimate present that’s sure to bring a smile to your special someone’s face.
